During debate on the Senate floor, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) rose in opposition to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and warned of its impact on the national deficit.

Yeah and Rand will take his big beautiful pension when he retires.
It sounds like Little Rand wants to spend more time with the family.
Rand Paul at this point seems to be angling for some “wrong side of history” humble pie.
so, in his (small) mind, instead of voting for the “lesser of the evils”, he will vote for the worst possible, voting with the dems and raising taxes on his constituents.
Sounds like Rand still does not realize that this is NOT a budget bill and can NOT make changes to mandatory spending!
Doesn’t he have anything better to do on a Sunday?
Rand Paul has been a U.S. Senator since 2011 - and how much has the national debt gone down during his terms in office?
Once or twice a year Paul announces something that brings attention to himself.
Has Rand Paul announced a proposal that will lower the national debt and has the votes necessary to become law?
I think we better stick with President Trump on this matter.
“so, in his (small) mind, instead of voting for the “lesser of the evils”, he will vote for the worst possible, voting with the dems and raising taxes on his constituents.”
so, in his (small) mind, instead of voting for a good bill, he will vote for the worst possible, voting with the dems and raising taxes on his constituents.
If Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In was still on, he’d be eligible for The Flying Fickle Finger of Fate award.
Have to pass this shit sandwich Rand.
Kentucky needs 2 new conservative representatives in the senate. Next year, they will replace The old guy, Mitch…Ditch Mitch is the unofficial theme.
How is this breaking news since it has been all over the news for weeks??
Rand has dubious value, and Fauci is still a free man
Rand is starting to remind me of H. Ross Perot without the charts. He’s right but it doesn’t matter.
Rand does not understand, or if he does, he is just lying for some agenda.
At this point the debt means nothing. We could raise spending by quadrillions... all the better, as it should be becoming clear to more people that this debt will NEVER be paid back, and that a system based on debt from the gitgo is designed to have ever-increasing debt to survive.
The solution is to “blow it up” to cause a RESET. The solution is a return to a sound Constitutional financial system based on real money, gold/silver.
That is exactly what is going on now, world-wide, as all major nations are on fiat-based currencies.
So far what I've seen about the BBB increasing the deficit is based on the assumption that extending the Trump tax cuts reduces future govt revenue, which is wrong.
What exactly is his alternative that would pass?
They need to replace Thomas Massie in the House too.
